he says is lie platform of the national party col helper also adds four other planks of his own whether col helper i.s authorized thus to add to the platform of his new party is un known if he be so authorized it is a tremendous discretion to vest in one man if he be not the colonel finds himself at variance with his new par ty at the very outset1 and in either event the nationals will go before the people of the seventh congress sional district in a very questionable aspect col helper if we mistake not however is a very loose man in his party relations having according to our recollection acted with every par ty during the last dozen years inclu ding an independent candidacy for for the senate from kowan and davie in wliich he failed of an election by an almost unanimous vote with such a record it is not to be expected that col helper could find room enough on any platform or that he could hesitate to shoiten it here or lengthen it there as might suit him lt is one ofthe evils incident to all new political organizations to gather together all the soreheads dead-beats and men of loose political proclivities generally men who though eager for political preferment see no hope for it in their accustomed ranks and are therefore ready to jump at any chance that offers just as drowning men are said to catch at straws of course along with the mass of impracticables there tire men with good purposes and who have in view the public wel fare rather than tlieir own men however who have been lying about j loose first in oue political bed and j then in another are not able to give | much character to a new party nor do ! they expect to do so they hope rather to be beneiittcd themselves than to benefit others the announcement that col hel per intends to meet col annfiehl

fear the fullest and fair est discussion nor does the democratic i party for it is easy to demonstrate that whatever is good in the objects aimed at by the national organization | can be more speedily and more surely accomplished through the machinery and organization of the democratic party than in any other way the nationals will not be allowed to steal democratic thunder call it by another name

all i other delinquents no sooner has a party become notorious for its frauds its prostitution and its corruptions under one name thau it adopts another in the hope of escaping under cover of an alias whatever name the op position to the democracy may as sume it is pretty sure to disgrace it and to be defeated in a short time j the enemies to democracy were de feated as the abolition party the know nothing party and lastly as j thc radical party now they are ' organizing a the national-greenback ' woikingmen's party but this change of name makes no change of men a j rogue will be a rogue and a radical j will be a radical let him adopt what name he prefers he cannot hide the cloven foot long or evade his inevit able destiny lie may affect the pu rity ofthe saint or pretend to the zeal of a

there are men and women too who would be horror stricken if a ball were to begotten up in their neighborhood who will not hesitate to originate and perpetuate church bickerings and quarrels they would consider it a moral sin to dance and yet are the stirrers up of strife jealousies animosities and hard feel ings as far as their influence extends they will not dance but they will do worse dancing is

can govern either party after tliis tarboro southerner no compromise as i grow older as a parent my views are changing fast as to the de gree of conformity to the world wliich we should allow to our children i am horror struck to count up the pro fligate children of pious persons and even ministers the door at which those influences enter wliich counter vail parental instruction and example i am persuaded is yielding to the ways of good society by dress books amusements an atmosphere is formed which is not that of christianity more than ever do i feel that our families must stand in a kind but de termined opposition to the fashions of the world breasting the waves like the eddystone light-house and i have found nothing yet whicli requires more courage and independence than to rise even a little but decidedly above the par of the religious world around us surely the way in which we commonly go on is not that way of self-denial and sacrifice and cross bearing which the new testament talks of then is the offence of the cross ceased our slender influence on the circles of our friends is often to be traced to our leaving so little difference between us â€” ren j w alexander 1 i kentucky picnics new york tinas they have original views of what constitutes a picnic in kentucky in this part ofthe union we count it an excursion to the country for social pleasure and pastime down there they regard it as a rendezvous to set tle old grudges with the re vol ler and bowie-knife the telegraph lately in formej us that at a picnic in lewis county in that state william and thomas blankenship were recently stabbed to death and that ten to fif teen other persons were more or less seriously wounded now that sounds comfortable such facts as these shar pens one's appetite for picnics it is downright hospitality to invite a gen tleman to a party of tlmt sort and then butcher iiim it may seem like a human barbecue to people who are not accustomed to the thing but it's delightful when one gets into the way of it what can be more enticing than a picnic where two men are kill ed and fifteen wounded there might have been more casualties to be sure but iu all probability the day was not a very good one for picnicking in lewis county it should be a source of deep regret and mortification to northerners that they can't have pic nics ofthe good old kentucky kind where whiskey flows like blood and where the entertain incut closes with several murders just to encourage and please the boys we presume the invitations especially ask persons to whom they are sent to bring tb ir revolvers rifles and bowie-knives that they may be properly equipped as rare sport is usually expected and usually provided the story noes that in that region they do not say a man has been killed they merely men tion-that he had gone to a picnic ; the rest understood the n y times has doubtless over stated the facts and no one is fool enough to believe the existauce in kentucky

states that this operation of replanting has been so common with him and the results so uniformly satisfactory that he does not hesitate to perforin it on any tooth in the mouth if the case demands it and he finds the cases that demands it and the number that he operates upon continually multiplying he makes it a point to examine the end of the roots of nearly all his cases of ab scessed teeth and a record of more than 150 cases with but one loss and that in the mouth ofa man so timid that he ut terly refused to bear the pain which near ly always follows for a few minutes there fore necessitatiugre-extraetion convinces him that the operation is not only prac ticability but decidedly beneficial to both patient and operator for one sitting is all that he has ever really found necessary to the full and complete restoration of the case in the present article however dr thomas states that it is his object not so much to speak ofthe replanting asof trans planting which he has reason to believe is just as practical so far as the mere re-at tachment is concerned as i.s replanting he details in illustration a case in which he successfully performed the operation inserting in the month ofa gentleman who had lost a right superior cuspidate a solid and healthy tooth that he had re moved from a lady's mouth four weeks previously he opened into the canal and pulp chamber of the tooth from the apex of the root only cut the end off one eighth of an inch it being that much too long reduce the size somewhat in the center ofthe root it being a tritle larger than the root extracted filled and placed it in position he states thai the occlu sion shape and color wero perfect so much so that several dentists who saw the case were not able to distinguished the transplanted tooth from the others the two features in the case that he calls particular attention to are first that al though the tooth had been in thc ollice four weeks there is to-day no preceptible change in color and second that the re attachment is as perfect as though it had been transplanted or replanted the same day of extraction the operation was performed about three mouths ago dr thomas knows of but two obstacles in the way ofthe perfect practicability of trans planting :" lirst the difficulty of obtain ing the proper teeth at the proper time and second the possibility of inoculation the latter is the more formidable of the two and to escape the ills that might fol low the greatest caution is necessary tho first difficulty is more easily gotten over for it is not necessary that tne tooth transplanted should correspond exactly iu shape and size to the one extracted if it is too large il may be carefully reduc ed or if too small new osseous deposits will supply thc deficiency neither is it necessary as we have seen that the trans planted tooth should be a freshly extract ed one as a demonstration of what modern dental surgery is capable of performing dr thomas statements are very inter esting it is doubtful however whether popular prejudice will allow this practice of transplanting'1 to become of much use hi infallible sign by which to know a ful ly ripened watermelon

the policy of general graut's administration in converting our debt into foreign debt is unwise and inex pedient and that the true policy of our government and best interests of our people be subserved by making it a domestic debt by affording the peo ple most favorable and practical op portunities for investment of their savings in the funded debt of the united states he believes also in

you are to be told that the success id the democratic party means payment for slaves and southern claims even to the bank ruptcy ofthe treasury can it be necessary to say that the fourteenth amendment to the constitution for bids much that you are assured we will do the constitutional provis ions are that neither the united states nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation inclined in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the united states norany claim for loss or emancipation of any slave and the man who tells you that an obli gation can be assumed or paid in vio lation ofthe

he says is lie platform of the national party col helper also adds four other planks of his own whether col helper i.s authorized thus to add to the platform of his new party is un known if he be so authorized it is a tremendous discretion to vest in one man if he be not the colonel finds himself at variance with his new par ty at the very outset1 and in either event the nationals will go before the people of the seventh congress sional district in a very questionable aspect col helper if we mistake not however is a very loose man in his party relations having according to our recollection acted with every par ty during the last dozen years inclu ding an independent candidacy for for the senate from kowan and davie in wliich he failed of an election by an almost unanimous vote with such a record it is not to be expected that col helper could find room enough on any platform or that he could hesitate to shoiten it here or lengthen it there as might suit him lt is one ofthe evils incident to all new political organizations to gather together all the soreheads dead-beats and men of loose political proclivities generally men who though eager for political preferment see no hope for it in their accustomed ranks and are therefore ready to jump at any chance that offers just as drowning men are said to catch at straws of course along with the mass of impracticables there tire men with good purposes and who have in view the public wel fare rather than tlieir own men however who have been lying about j loose first in oue political bed and j then in another are not able to give | much character to a new party nor do ! they expect to do so they hope rather to be beneiittcd themselves than to benefit others the announcement that col hel per intends to meet col annfiehl

fear the fullest and fair est discussion nor does the democratic i party for it is easy to demonstrate that whatever is good in the objects aimed at by the national organization | can be more speedily and more surely accomplished through the machinery and organization of the democratic party than in any other way the nationals will not be allowed to steal democratic thunder call it by another name

all i other delinquents no sooner has a party become notorious for its frauds its prostitution and its corruptions under one name thau it adopts another in the hope of escaping under cover of an alias whatever name the op position to the democracy may as sume it is pretty sure to disgrace it and to be defeated in a short time j the enemies to democracy were de feated as the abolition party the know

radical j will be a radical let him adopt what name he prefers he cannot hide the cloven foot long or evade his inevit able destiny lie may affect the pu rity ofthe saint or pretend to the zeal of a

there are men and women too who would be horror stricken if a ball were to begotten up in their neighborhood who will not hesitate to originate and perpetuate church bickerings and quarrels they would

can govern either party after tliis tarboro southerner no compromise as i grow older as a parent my views are changing fast as to the de gree of conformity to the world wliich we should allow to our children i am horror struck to count up the pro fligate children of pious persons and even ministers the door at which those influences enter wliich counter vail parental instruction and example i am persuaded is yielding to the ways of good society by dress books amusements an atmosphere is formed which is not that of christianity more than ever do i feel that our families must stand in a kind but de termined opposition to the fashions of the world breasting the waves like the eddystone light-house and i have found nothing yet whicli requires more courage and independence than to rise even a little but decidedly above the par of the religious world around us surely the way in which we commonly go on is not that way of self-denial and sacrifice and cross bearing which the new testament talks of then is the offence of the cross ceased our slender influence on the circles of our friends is often to be traced to our leaving so little difference between us â€” ren j w alexander 1 i kentucky picnics new york tinas they have original views of what constitutes a picnic in kentucky in this part ofthe union we count it an excursion to the country for social pleasure and pastime down there they regard it as a rendezvous to set tle old grudges with the re vol ler and bowie-knife the telegraph lately in formej us that at a picnic in lewis county in that state william and thomas blankenship were recently stabbed to death and that ten to fif teen other persons were more or less seriously wounded now that sounds comfortable such facts as these shar pens one's appetite for picnics it is downright hospitality to invite a gen tleman to a party of tlmt sort and then butcher iiim it may seem like a human barbecue to people who are not accustomed to the thing but it's delightful when one gets into the way of it what can be more enticing than a picnic where two men are kill ed and fifteen wounded there might have been more casualties to be sure but iu all probability the day was not a very good one for picnicking in lewis county it should be a source of deep regret and mortification to northerners that they can't have pic nics ofthe good old kentucky kind where whiskey flows like blood and where the entertain incut closes with several murders just to encourage and please the boys we presume the invitations especially ask persons to whom they are sent to bring tb ir revolvers rifles and bowie-knives that they may be properly equipped as rare sport is usually expected and usually provided the story noes that in that region they do not say a man has been killed they merely men tion-that he had gone to a picnic ; the rest understood the n y times has doubtless over stated the facts and no one is fool enough to believe the existauce in kentucky

states that this operation of replanting has been so common with him and the results so uniformly satisfactory that he does not hesitate to perforin it on any tooth in the mouth if the case demands it and he finds the cases that demands it and the number that he operates upon continually multiplying he makes it a point to examine the end of the roots of nearly all his cases of ab scessed teeth and a record of more than 150 cases with but one loss and that in the mouth ofa man so timid that he ut terly refused to bear the pain which near ly always follows for a few minutes there fore necessitatiugre-extraetion convinces him that the operation is not only prac ticability but decidedly beneficial to both patient and operator for one sitting is all that he has ever really found necessary to the full and complete restoration of the case in the present article however dr thomas states that it is his object not so much to speak ofthe replanting asof trans planting which he has reason to believe is just as practical so far as the mere re-at tachment is concerned as i.s replanting he details in illustration a case in which he successfully performed the operation inserting in the month ofa gentleman who had lost a right superior cuspidate a solid and healthy tooth that he had re moved from a lady's mouth four weeks previously he opened into the canal and pulp chamber of the tooth from the apex of the root only cut the end off one eighth of an inch it being that much too long reduce the size somewhat in the center ofthe root it being a tritle larger than the root extracted filled and placed it in position he states thai the occlu sion shape and color wero perfect so much so that several dentists who saw the case were not able to distinguished the transplanted tooth from the others the two features in the case that he calls particular attention to are first that al though the tooth had been in thc ollice four weeks there is to-day no preceptible change in color and second that the re attachment is as perfect as though it had been transplanted or replanted the same day of extraction the operation was performed about three mouths ago dr thomas knows of but two obstacles in the way ofthe perfect practicability of trans planting :" lirst the difficulty of obtain ing the proper teeth at the proper time and second the possibility of inoculation the latter is the more formidable of the two and to escape the ills that might fol low the greatest caution is necessary tho first difficulty is more easily gotten over for it is not necessary that tne tooth transplanted should correspond exactly iu shape and size to the one extracted if it is too large il may be carefully reduc ed or if too small new osseous deposits will supply thc deficiency neither is it necessary as we have seen that the trans planted tooth should be a freshly extract ed one as a demonstration of what modern dental surgery is capable of performing dr thomas statements are very inter esting it is doubtful however whether popular prejudice will allow this practice of transplanting'1 to become of much use hi infallible sign by which to know a ful ly ripened watermelon

the policy of general graut's administration in converting our debt into foreign debt is unwise and inex pedient and that the true policy of our government and best interests of our people be subserved by making it a domestic debt by affording the peo ple most favorable and practical op portunities for investment of their savings in the funded debt of the united states he believes also in
